A. Hello mom Yes it is totally normal. Baby should take a feed in every two hours gap on baby should feed for at least 20 to 40 minutes at a time. Even in night you have to feed your baby in every two hours gap. Mother’s milk is sufficient for baby so there is no need to give anything else till you baby turned six months
